Graturday Giveaway: Week 16

”At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” - Albert Schweitzer

Welcome to Graturday Week Sixteen!🎉

Wow, it's late. I've got just enough time to stop this from being a ‘Grunday’ if I hurry 😅! So here's the deal: every Saturday, I invite anyone who happens to stumble upon this post to share something they feel grateful for. Aside from getting the chance to express your gratitude, you could win one of the prizes.

What prizes?

🎁 1st Gratitude Comment gets 100 Ecency points
🎁 2nd Gratitude Comment gets 90 Ecency points
🎁 3rd Gratitude Comment gets 80 Ecency points
🎁 4th Gratitude Comment gets 70 Ecency points
🎁 5th Gratitude Comment gets 60 Ecency points

But why gratitude?

Because gratitude is great for you. Being grateful can yield all sorts of benefits, including:

More restful sleep
Better focus
More patience
Improved self-esteem
More positive moods
Stronger relationships
(And many more)

And that's just from a scientific perspective. If you look at it in terms of the energy you put into the world and what you'd like to have returned to you, gratitude can encourage more good things to come your way. You don't have to believe it just because I (or anybody else) said so. Try it yourself with Graturday 😉. Here's how:

The Rules

Leave a comment on this post about something you feel grateful for.
Comments can be any length once they clearly convey what you feel grateful for.
You can't pick everything or everyone, so narrow it down to something or someone specific.
You can't give the same comment more than once in a month if you want your entry to be eligible for prizes (but if you want to mention something multiple times per month alongside new things you feel grateful for that's fine too).
You don't have to upvote or repost to enter, but if you do, just know that you have my gratitude for that.
You have until next week's Graturday post goes up to enter for this week ⏳.

What am I grateful for this week?

I've had the cold for most of this week, but I'm starting to feel better now. I even have the use of both my nostrils again 😃! I suppose I'm also grateful that I live in the Caribbean so the weather is nice and warm 🌞⛱️. I have no clue how long it would take me to recover if I was surrounded by snow 🥶…

Ok, now it's your turn. Please join in and let me know in the comments what you felt grateful for this past week.

Have a Great Graturday
